Sorry Carolyn I couldn't find my original thread you can move this if you want.Well anyway I caught a mouse in the trap yesterday and you all know what happened last time where only the mouses leg got caught well that just happened a while ago again only this time my sister flushed it down the toilet and it drowned.And now ill be up all night again just great cant sleep after that happens thats why I was trying to sleep before I heard the trap snap because I knew the mouse was in my drawer.

Also the Mouse was in a small budgie carrier I dont use anymore but I still wanted it.What should I wash it with to get all infections away because this carrier could be used again some day.

You can wash the carrier in a bleach and water solution then rinse it. That will disinfect it. Make sure to rub all the surfaces with a cloth or sponge or something to get rid of any dirt that might have germs trapped in it.

Thanks.Im gonna be sleeping in School lol hope I have at least one free class so I can lay my head down and at least close my eyes to reduce the tiredness.

Great now there is another in the drawer.Im not gonna put the trap in until tomorrow ill leave it be for tonight.

When you have time, you need to try to figure out how all these mice are getting into the drawer. There must be a hole somewhere that's letting them come in, and if you can block if off it will help you get rid of them.

The drawers are just fitted in so if a mouse goes under the drawer it can climb into the drawers.Besides I want them to go in there thats why I haven't cleaned it yet because if I put the trap in there they get caught also its better than having them run around my room or possibly find the tiels.

Gosh, I am so sorry for all you are going through with this problem.

I know sometimes I am kept up all night.

You know, I looked up the growing process of a mouse. It seems that they are capable of moving around on their own and eating solid food as soon as 14 days.

Not to mention they breed five times per year, and become sexually mature in 6-8 weeks. The average litter of mouse pups also usually ranges between 8-12, but they can have as much as 20.

No wonder this has been taking forever. They breed like crazy and grow up so quickly!

I would at least consider calling the Dublin pest control, and asking how exactly do they get rid of the mice. Then decide if you should have them take care of it or not.
